BigLift, Chung Yang tie up for LNG heavy transport jobs

BigLift Shipping and Chung Yang Shipping have reached an agreement for cooperation in heavy transport shipping in LNG, oil and gas markets.

The four heavy transport vessels will be commercially operated by BigLift Shipping, BigLift said in its statement on Monday.

With this combination of two pairs of sisterships BigLift Barentsz and BigLift Baffin and CY Interocean I and CY Interocean II, the companies aim to meet the future demands in the LNG, oil and gas markets and the renewable market.

The vessels are similar with respect to deck space, however, the CY vessels’ depth is less, enabling BigLift and Chung Yang to handle an even wider range of port locations in respect of water depth and quay heights.

Both Chung Yang and BigLift Shipping aim to provide technical and operational support in the early stages of the projects, the statement reads.
